    Cajun Pork chop dinner
    Tamma H.

    Yummy and tender! Met the owner Dave and he explained how he started the Cajun Pork Chop. Hey my friendly neighbor treated me to something special and this was a porkeating experience . So if you feel guilty about eating Pork do not eat the rib tips or the pork chop because you will fall in Love and rethink your whole life beliefs. The BBQ meat was so juicy and tender my 89 year old mom could chew. I never had large pork tips so tender. Every bite was flavorful and soothing to chew. I will be back. I highly recommend you get over the Pork guilt and this BBQ can help. Each piece had a char taste with the gristle being tasty. Maybe he brine his meat but the cut is top choice. It worth treating yourself to some good ribs!

    Such tender, well seasoned ribs!! We got these for my moms bday. They were ready within 20 minutes of ordering and so good! A Dyer gem!

    Chicken and rib tips combo!   Good for 2 meals or 1 epiphany.

    My stomach was eating itself after Carnegie Deli in NYC refused to ship me a pastrami and tongue sandwich....so I begrudgingly "plan B'd" it for my fatty meal of the week. I rolled the dice and went for the tips and half chicken combo with 4 sides. I spent 49 cents extra to opt in beans instead of fries for one of those sides and yet still felt like slapping NYC on the subway for snubbing me. I mean...I wanted the pastrami and tongue so bad I could SMELL IT!!! That was all I could think about. ....and then I opened my carryout box and instantly forgot to take a photo. Talk about a distraction! I gave the first tip to my boss and devoured 2 more before even thinking about my camera. So, half full of tips, I'm sitting there with some plasticware...looking at a nicely charred half chicken and thinking "how's this gonna go down?" Answer? Like butter! I could have separated that bird easily with a broken spork. By this time I'm completely absorbed in how to consume this feast and have totally forgotten about NYC and the whole reconciliation thing. Turns out the only thoughts on my mind were: 1 - I've found someone who makes bone-in chicken as well or perhaps better than me. and 2 - This is about to get uncomfortable for those around me. Simple fact - Hog Haven slapped me in the face today with a reminder that good things come to those who wait and that this place is a serious contender for my top 5 BBQ joints in greater Chicagoland!

    Chicken sandwich & psycho fries

    Had Hog Haven tonight- phenomenal BBQ! I had a chicken sandwich with psycho fries- a must try- and my husband had the ribs. It was all so good! We will definitely be back

    Called ahead for order to be picked up, arrived at the counter 15 min after call to pick up food, waited at counter for 10 min while the guy and gal chit-chat in the back. I mentioned about soup and was told no soup. What I see in the steamer was baked beans, I wasn't asked or offered any to add to my order at that time. My food was sitting out on the counter packed in a bag. Not under any type of warmer. Total was given $44.91. When he handed me the bag it felt very light for 3 half rib dinners. Upon arriving home and opening boxes I find very small half slabs, a small handful of hard fries (no extra sauce) ribs are supposed to be messy, make you use several napkins.This was not the case with Hog Haven. The coleslaw was very strong vinegar and thin sauce. I called the restaurant to talk with the guy, he says "we sell a lot of ribs, can't make everyone happy" Live and learn.....will stick with the out of the way places even if I have to drive farther next time...... I had hi hopes this local business would have earned my money, but I feel as if all they did was take it and not deliver on what should have been.

    One of the best places in the Region for carry-out, fall-off-the-bone, ribs. Also has some of the best cole slaw you can get.

    I always go here for their ribs. I love it! Would definitely recommend to everyone. Also, try their Beer Battered cod fish. :)

    We ordered from here last night for pick up around 7:30 PM. The food was really disappointing. I…read moreordered two 2 meat platters and two large drinks. The brisket was really bad. It was very dry, it almost made you want to choke thats how dry it was. The fries had TONS of seasoning. It was an overkill though. I couldn't even eat them because there was so much salt on them like 10x more than there should be. Same problem with the okra. The Mac and cheese was super weird. The only thing that was good was the Dr Pepper, garlic toast and the smoked turkey was ok. Maybe it's my fault for ordering later in the night, because nothing tasted fresh. The service was good, the guy working was friendly. Sad I wasted so much money though.

    Such a disappointing experience. I ordered the two meat, special brisket and chicken with fried…read moreokra as my side. I also added the spicy barbecue sauce for an extra cost. To be a little fair in this review, I did order from DoorDash for delivery. The delivery took an extremely long time so much. I had to complain about the DoorDash driver. However, the food quality was very poor. The brisket was tough. The chicken was a smaller portion than I thought. The okra was decent, but very salty. And the barbecue sauce was great so that was probably the best part, the spicy was extremely spicy though. I also ordered the side of mac & cheese. I've had better mac & cheese, many other places, but it was OK. It also came with a side of toast, but that wasn't anything to write home about. If you're looking for good barbecue, there's so many other places that have better barbecue than a place that has barbecue title such as dickies. I do have to say the dickies barbecue in Texas at most locations are 10 times better.

To get there from DeKalb by air, I had to dog-leg the flight over Cushing Field (to stay out of the Aurora and Lockport airspace) and then head east from there. Important note for pilots: If you are landing, try to make it to 9/27, or you'll have a long taxi up to the terminal where the restaurant is at. Once you are there (by AIR), you'll go to the far left end of the big building (you can see the beer signs in the window). Make sure you remember the CTAF (you'll need it to get back on the airport), and go through the gate, go up the elevator, and walk into the restaurant. Ambiance-wise, this place has large windows, a very large bar, a Namco Ms. Pac Man / Galaga game, bathrooms that are reasonably clean, some gambling machines, and decent food. I ordered their Pulled Pork Sandwich, which came with french fries. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Plate, which came with cole slaw, garlic toast (2 pieces) and a green bean caserole. I ordered the pulled Pork Sandwich, and I ordered it spicy. It was not spicy by any definition. The amount of barbeque sauce provided was around a 1/2 of a shot glass. It was not enough. With that said, the barbeque was dry and needed the barbeque sauce. The fries were nice and fresh. My wife had the Pulled Pork Dinner. I sampled her cole slaw (with paprika, very good) and the green bean casserole - which seemed to use canned green beans, ugh. Very soft, the mouth feel was b l a h. Service was solid. We were greeted (walk in, no sign, sit where you want), and helpful. The food just wasn't as good as other barbeque places. Aircraft Parking - part towards the west end of the building / ramp, where the entrance is.

    The food came out cold and tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. It was not freshly cooked…read more I ordered the barbecue pulled pork dinner plate, and the Texas toast was also heavily burnt. Service took forever and there was only one lady working for the whole restaurant, we were told she couldn't get us refills, but to come up to the bar and you could do it yourself. I would not go here unless you are only stopping in for a drink at the bar.

It's unfortunate that I receive the exact opposite on my second visit. I was waiting to be helped and they took two white men, and an elder white lady before me, even though I was acknowledged. I can understand if they're older and they wanna be helpful first, but there is no communication on this.... And then I saw the sign. I should've taken a photo cause it was a little startling, and unfortunate that they expressed so openly their political position and hate for Wokeness. I've heard some stories how they are true MAGA and slightly racist, but you have to experience it for yourself. You have to give a place a chance. And it saddens me the way I was treated on my second time back. Folks everywhere are just so sad and upset these days, every life has been disrupted in someway the last 10 years for multiple reasons. It's stressful out here, but it's also stressful trying to get good quality food with all the regulation changes. I travel out of the country multiple times a year and American food is just the worst. So I'll keep searching for quality in both the product and in the customer service. In some small way, it's good to know a store position because I don't wanna give them my business. It's so weird to fight against progress. And it's even weirder to think Wokeness is a thing. Stay asleep.
